Chapter 14 - faced with a devil

— Stephanie's POV —

I anxiously walk home through the pitch black of night. Wrapped in my duffel coat, and wishing Michelle was here beside me, to be my human shield again.

I eventually after a long walk make it into my huge housing estate, there's a thick smell of food coming from each house, making me lick my lips.

I open the door to my house, hoping my family are already asleep so I can pack my bag and go and watch some Netflix without having to "tell them about my day." But horror fills my face as I open the door to see my mom, dad AND Toby with their arms crossed, glaring into me.

What if he told them about me being gay? This could be it for me and I'm about to get kicked out of my own house. I stare at Toby in fear and he runs over to me.
"STEPH WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?" He falsely comforts me, he knows he did this, and he's playing the hero so he's not suspected. I can see the threat in his eyes as he's facing me, looking at the bruise on my face.

"I-uh I tripped on a rock when I took a different route home from Michelle's and I-uh must've f-fainted." I lie, knowing exactly what will happen if I tell the toby did it, my parents really like him and if he tells them I'm gay, it's all over for me.

I have to hide my clenched fists as he pretends to comfort me in front of my parents, stroking my back softly, it makes me feel so uncomfortable after what he's done. I dodge his hand and look at my parents.
"I'm sorry, I didn't realise how worried you might be since it's so late, I should be more careful." I patronisingly say, sarcasm building up in each word, luckily, they don't notice.

I run up to my room, to prevent myself from crying. I angrily throw in all my books for tomorrow, cramming in my pencil case and notepad. I swiftly pull out my laptop and sit it on my fluffy bed, I begin to open it up until I hear a loud stomp up the stairs and I quickly hide my laptop under my duvet.

Toby aggressively walks up to me and pins my wrists down with his muscly hand, using his other to gag me, shoving to fingers down my throat to prevent me from speaking or shouting.

He rams it deeply down my throats and holds my head up towards him, an aggressive expression is flooding his face.
"You tell anyone about what I've done, it's all over for you, I'll tell them you're gay and you'll be kicked out just like your brother was. You have no idea how much my reputation in school would be ruined if they found out my girlfriend turned gay whilst she was dating me." He angrily whispers.

He ejects his fingers from my mouth as I begin to choke, coughing everywhere and unable to control it. He forcefully grabs my head and pulls it towards his big lips, pressing it deeply against his and sucking on my lips. He does this for about 2 minutes until my face begins to turn blue.

I try multiple times to detach his lips from my but he just holds my head tighter. I eventually manage to squirm free, covering my face with my hands from him doing anything else to me.
"You belong to me Stephanie, I can do whatever I like and you're NOT escaping from me to be gay, I control you and what you do, so don't think you can get away." He enviously sniggers, storming back downstairs and saying bye to my parents.

I cry into my duvet uncontrollably, knowing that I can't escape, I'm trapped.
